"Strawberry Hill began as Walpole's 'Little play-thing house' and became one of the wonders of the eighteenth-century architectural world. Woefully neglected for years it is now undergoing major restoration and will emerge in triumph as the seminal house of the gothic revival in England." "Walpole and his 'Committee of Taste' devoted themselves to their gothic creation. It became a visitor attraction with Walpole's own guidebook and housekeeper to show ticketed visitors round. The authors take us on that same route and room by room with Walpole at our elbow reveal the theatrical planning the deliberate contrasts of light and colour and the love of drama invested in every detail of the building its decoration and its furniture." "At first Walpole sought the 'gloomth' of medieval buildings and details from tombs heraldic devices and stained glass were used to promote the effect that would inspire his own gothic tale The Castle of Otranto. Later with the building of the magnificent Long Gallery and its incredible papier mache ceiling Walpole revelled in 'gothicism and gold'." "The book is illustrated with many of the engravings that Walpole himself commissioned of his house and its interior decoration. There are modern photographs too."--BOOK JACKET.

1991127445Encinitas California: Artra Publishing Inc 1991. First. Hardbound. VG light edge wear. Purple boards with color illustrated DJ 112pp profuse color plates. From the jacket--Alive in a world tolerant of eclecticism and skeptical of traditional values John Asaro's paintings are an anomaly. His canvases like zealous missionaries speak clearly and colorfully of life are both expressionistic and concise pragmatic and technically adventurous. Paradoxically his "romantic realism" invades the art scene like a whiff of orange blossoms as refreshing and pungent to our senses as the seaside images permeating the pages of this book.

"This beauttifully produced volume brings together for the first time works by two remarkable painters of seventeenth-century Italy who happen also to have been father and daughter: Orazio and Artemisia Gentileschi. Famous in their own day these two artists have enjoyed renewed fame in the twentieth century: Orazio as one of the first and certainly the most individual of Caravaggio's followers; Artemisia as the outstanding female painter prior to the twentieth century. The tumultuous lives of these two artists moved along parallel trajectories and take the reader from the popular quarters of papal Rome and te rough-and-tumble world of Naples to the courts of the grand duke of Tuscany Marie de' Medici in Paris and Charles I in London. These changing circumstances nourished two different aesthetic visions both of which were deeply rooted in the Caravaggesque practice of painting directly from the posed model. While Orazio's art became ever more refined and elegant Artemisia espoused a rhetorical form of dramatic presentation that is the basis of Baroque painting." dj With essays and dozens of examples of the artists' work in the annotated and illustrated catalog.
